Master Yi is Broken Yi

Just played a game as against an enemy . Master Yi "earned" (presumably) himself a quadra kill on my teammates while I was pushing top lane. My team pinged that he was on his way to me. I back off into the bush and begin backing. There was an enemy team ward in the bush, so he had clear vision of me. However, before Master Yi could Alpha Strike on me, I polymorphed him successfully (I could see the animation clearly), and then Master Yi Alpha Striked me. After his animation ended, I could STILL clearly see the polymorph animation.

Assuming, (which I HIGHLY doubt... especially after watching the replay) that Master Yi was still in Ult Mode (which makes him immune to SLOWS), Polymorph should still work (Ashes Arrow works everytime regardless of Yi's ult... Malph's Ult works everytime regardless of Yi's Ult.) So... why didn't Lulu's polymorph? Can anyone explain this to me? Because I can't believe that I just gave him a Pentakill... I just really can't. (I can guarantee you that "if I WAS playing Yi", that polymorph would've prevented me from landing Alpha Strike.)

Master Yi's Alpha Strike has a .125 second cast time/delay. If he presses Q and you polymorph him during those .125 seconds, he will still Alpha Strike, and depending on how long Yi was Alpha Striking, continue to be polymorphed for the remaining duration once Alpha Strike is over. Some people call this "disjointing" the polymorph. This is not a bug and can happen with any CC.

Edit: Here is a video of Cowsep's explanation of "disjointing" with Alpha Strike. (I do not agree with him calling this a bug, other abilities work like this like Ezreal's E.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heneW2EdGzs

Play another game move on with your life and have condoms ready.

ON ENEMY CAST: Lulu turns the target enemy champion into a harmless critter, polymorphing them and reducing their base movement speed by 60 for a short duration. The slow didn't affect him because of his ultimate.

Why was this happening? Why is lulu alone pushing top while her team gets quadrad and why are you pissing yourself over it? Its just a fed yi, youre lulu deal with it.

master yi is immune to slows

if ability x slows and reduces your damage by 10000% then it wont effect master yi

ashe's ult stuns, not slows.

there is a slow attached but that wont effect master yi.

ahri's charm can slow him down but that makes him move slower which isn't the same as slowing him...

I definitely agree that Yi is incredibly broken...

But sadly, people do not want you to have your own opinion and will harass you for having a different opinion than them.

It is definitely a shame that people would even think about harassing someone for any reason at all.
